which template tag are you using in each location?

GroupView = sp_ShareThisTag();

ForumView = sp_ShareThisForumTag();

TopicView = sp_ShareThisTopicTag();

So far it looks like social network sharing is functioning properly from all views, just not getting any actual link when shared via email in Group View only.

cannot duplicate this… working fine for me…  where are you using the group view template tag?  per the description, it must be used within the wp loop…

where are you using the group view template tag?

Line 30 of spGroupView.php like so:

        # Start the 'groupView' section
        # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        sp_SectionStart('tagClass=spListSection', 'groupView');
        
        # Share This (Group View)
        sp_ShareThisTag('tagClass=ShareThisTag spCenter');

            # Start the Group Loop
            # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
            if (sp_has_groups()) : while (sp_loop_groups()) : sp_the_group();

Are you saying you are unable to replicate the issue on our test site via the link I provided above, or you just can’t replicate it on your own installs? I just confirmed once again that the widget seems to function properly, but after sending, no link is received, just like the screenshots above.

If you could try to share our group view via email at http://tripawds.net I’d be really curious to see if it works for you. I have tried sending an email share both with and without other social networks selected, but no difference. The only link in the emails is the one to ShareThis at the bottom.

I read the instructions about the tag being the WordPress Loop. Must it be within the Group Loop?

No, not the group loop, but the wp loop… if used inside our template file, it will be within the wp loop… was really just making sure it was not in sidebar or header/footer…

Yes, it shows for me… see image (hope it shows since replying by email)…

Yes, the description and URL appear in the widget, but look at the email received and there is no link actually sent. Unlike the emails sent from other views, this one includes no hyperlinked title text.

I’ve tested this from multiple machines and browsers, both logged in and not, all with the same results. I’m hoping someone might send an email from our group view Share This widget and let me know if this is just me.

Thanks!

the popup clearly shows it…  I guess I would have to research at the share this site if it includes links in the email – though you said it did for others…  there are not any additional settings we can affect to make it happen…  and its in the popup… weird…  will have to do more testing and searching of share this…

Indeed! Every social sharing widget I know of shares an actual link. And the other views share the link to the forum or topic… Thanks for looking into this!
